20 February 2012 Written by Simphiwe Mkhize

I am working and living in Cape Town.  I don't even remember the last match played in Cape Town. I sometimes have a mind that Cape Town is not part of South Africa may be is a country on its on. I wonder if there are no Bafana Bafana supporters in Cape.

Back in 2010 World Cup , Cape Town Stadium was going host Bafana Bafana and Colombia on May 27, after the South African Football Association (Safa) changed the venues for all three of the national team’s fixtures before the 2010 FIFA World Cup the match played at Soccer City in Johannesburg.

Now there is an international friendly match between Bafana Bafana and Senegal is also not coming to Cape Town will be in Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Wednesday, 29 February. Kick-off is at 8:35pm.

Safa need to explain why they not giving Bafana Bafana to play in Cape Town?

Imbombozi are called (non-existent children) claim to be benefiting from Social grant without children. More than 15 million social  grant recipients will have to  re-register for their benefits  as government attempts to eliminate  fraud and corruption in the system.

MORE than 15 million social grant recipients will have to  re-register for their benefits  as government attempts to eliminate  fraud and corruption in the system.

Dlamini said the re-registration process, which is to start in April, was aimed at ensuring that government paid social grants to the "correct recipients" following repeated revelations that there were people who received grants fraudulently.

"We want to ensure that we pay the correct recipients.,

"That is why we are going to re-register everyone, even children and older persons. We are going to visit them at their homes.

"We also want to deal with what has been said, that we sometimes pay the wrong people," said Dlamini.

There are currently 15,3-million people on the state's R100-billion social grants system, which includes 10,3-million children who receive support.

Eastern Cape provincial Sassa  spokesman Luzuko Qina said the re- registration was part of a long-term  plan from the department to enable  them to have their own database of all  social grant beneficiaries.
"In the past we’ve had many paymasters, each with their own database  but now we want to become our own  paymasters and register our own  database which will be standard across  the country," said Qina.

The new database will also aid in  identifying fraudulent beneficiaries.

Qina added that all re-registered beneficiaries will be issued with a new  Sassa card, which will allow them to  withdraw their money from anywhere.


"These cards will be like a visa and  people will be able to use them anywhere, including grocery stores and  ATMs," he said.


Qina said the department would do  their best to ensure a smooth transmission process during the re-registration. He said beneficiaries need to go to  their existing paypoints where they will  give their names and have their fingerprints taken.
